Detailing - Random Orbital, what's good?

[milkman]

Hey Guys,

I figured I might as well give detailing a go..

I am currently looking at buying a decent random orbital.
What's the go with random orbitals?
Do I just goto bunnings and buy a decent BOSCH one?
or am I better off buying one designed for detailing?
Is there a difference?
What would you recommend?

I am hoping to spend $150 or thereabouts..

Cheers.

i use a Bosch PEX-xxxxx

deatailed about 4 or 5 cars with it and its good... but to really get a good cut back you need a rotary

Seems to have reviewed well! Apart from being a tad weaksauce.

Yeah I'm too scared to use a rotary RAO will be it for now.

How's this kit? http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/pr...om_orbital_kit

There pretty good guys, you can go and pick it up from them if yor in Sydney.

I have purchased from them before.

Nice to know I can pick up too. A shop front is always better for warranty stuff!

I think I might get it!

Cheers!

Not sure what tools you are after.

I have a Bosch one and am fairly unimpressed by it... however i can really only blame myself for not researching enough (think the model i got isnt powerful enough). Might get it out this weekend and give it another go

Not sure what tools you are after.

+1 for the DAS6. I did the whole car today including cutting, polishing and waxing. I'm very very impressed. Great machine at a good price.
